This paper presents the results of laboratory tests and finite element (FE) analyses of concrete cylinders subjected to compression. The laboratory tests of concrete elements were conducted to determine the secant modulus of elasticity and the nonlinear stress–strain relationship for concrete. This relationship was used to validate the numerical model of the concrete cylinders subjected to compression. The comparison between the numerical and experimental results indicates that the adopted 3D model captures the response of the concrete cylinders subjected to compression fairly well.
